About

Andon

Features
Read full description

Andon shows you at a glance whether everything is running. Your machines, servers or solar panels supply the numbers, and Andon turns them into clear tiles in the app and into widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen of your iPhone and iPad. So even data with no cloud connection of its own ends up on your iPhone. AT A GLANCE • Traffic-light colours for every value: OK, warning, critical • Nine tile kinds: figure, gauge, progress, line, bar, pie and donut chart, table and timeline • Every tile can be enlarged • Widgets in every size for the Home Screen and Lock Screen • Stale data stands out right away: a view turns grey when new numbers stop coming in • Light and dark mode YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your data is encrypted at the source and decrypted only on your device. The server in between sees nothing but ciphertext and holds no key. Your device receives the key from the QR code when you pair it, and you can remove a device at any time. SET UP IN SECONDS Scan a QR code and you're done. No account, no password, nothing to configure in the app. FOR YOUR OWN DATA SOURCES With the free Node-RED package @smartrsolutions/node-red-andon, listed in the Node-RED Library, you can bring values from PLCs, MQTT, databases or APIs to your iPhone with just a few nodes. Your own scripts can use an open specification. TRY IT RIGHT AWAY Andon comes with three live demos: a factory, a cloud service and a house with solar panels. The demos are free to use, with no time limit. SUBSCRIPTION Try your own views free for 7 days. After that, an Andon subscription is required to keep using them. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won’t be charged. • Monthly subscription, renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends • Manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple Account settings Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://andon.app/en/privacy
